Shona Rapira-Davies is one of Aotearoa’s most influential contemporary Māori artists. Born in Aotearoa New Zealand, she trained at Elam School of Fine Arts and has exhibited nationally and internationally. Her work often weaves together personal history, tribal identity, and collective narratives of Māori women. She creates powerful sculptural forms using terracotta, wood, paint, and found materials.
